Unfortunately, there's not simple formula to identifying all of the factors of a number and it can be a tedious process when trying to identify the divisors of larger numbers. To find the factor combinations of the number 114,464,141, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.
We start by creating a table and writing 1 on the left side and then the number we're trying to find the factors for on the right side in a table. Then, below that, write the numbers as a negative as well.
| 1 | 114,464,141 | |
| -1 | -114,464,141 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 114,464,141.
Example:
1 x 114,464,141 = 114,464,141
and
-1 x -114,464,141 = 114,464,141
Notice both answers equal 114,464,141
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 114,464,141 and divide it by 2:
114,464,141 ÷ 2 = 57,232,070.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 57,232,070.5 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 114,464,141 | |
| -1 | -114,464,141 |
Now, we try dividing 114,464,141 by 3:
114,464,141 ÷ 3 = 38,154,713.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 38,154,713.6667 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 114,464,141 | |
| -1 | -114,464,141 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
114,464,141 ÷ 4 = 28,616,035.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 28,616,035.25 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 114,464,141 | |
| -1 | 114,464,141 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 71 | 113 | 781 | 1,243 | 1,297 | 8,023 | 14,267 | 88,253 | 92,087 | 146,561 | 1,012,957 | 1,612,171 | 10,405,831 | 114,464,141 |
| -1 | -11 | -71 | -113 | -781 | -1,243 | -1,297 | -8,023 | -14,267 | -88,253 | -92,087 | -146,561 | -1,012,957 | -1,612,171 | -10,405,831 | -114,464,141 |
